Miley Cyrus to Justin Bieber: 'Don't Become a Joke' Like Vanilla Ice

Pop tart Miley Cyrus reveals a lot on the cover of Rolling Stone (yes, she’s naked again), and inside where she talks about her infamous twerking at the MTV VMAs and offers career and life advice to fellow teen idol Justin Bieber.

Addressing her VMAs performance, she vented, “No one is talking about the man behind the ass. It was a lot of ‘Miley twerks on Robin Thicke’ but never, ‘Robin Thicke grinds up on Miley.’ They’re only talking about the one that bent over. So obviously there’s a double standard.”

She’s not rushing out to read the reviews though, adding, “I think it’s an important time not to Google myself.”

Explaining the dynamic between her and mom Tish Cyrus, the 20-year-old told a candid story about the backstage goings-on at the award show. “When we were getting ready for the VMAs, I was about to put on my teddy-bear costume and she’s like, ‘Sweet girl, do you need to potty before you put your costume on?’ I’m like, ‘Mom! Kanye is standing right here!’”

The “Wrecking Ball” singer admitted she likes going to Kanye for fashion and career advice (‘Yo, do you think I should wear this?’ ‘Do you think I should go in the studio with this guy?’) and it sounds like she wants to be that person for Justin Bieber, 19.

Miley said, “I’m not much older than him, so I never want it to feel like I’m mentoring him. But I do in a way. Because I’ve been doing this shit a long time, and I already transitioned, and I don’t think he’s quite done it yet. He’s trying really hard. People don’t take him seriously, but he really can play the drums, he really can play the guitar, he really can sing.”

She added, “I just don’t want to see him f**k that up, to where people think he’s Vanilla Ice. I tell him that. Like, ‘You don’t want to become a joke. When you go out, don’t start shit. Don’t come in shirtless.’ But the thing is, I think boys are like seven years behind. So in his head, he’s really, like, 12.”
